Your Local Plumber in Mayfield and Easthouses
Mayfield and Easthouses sit on the higher ground on the south-eastern edge of Dalkeith, just a few minutes from our Jarnac Court office. We cover every street, from the Mayfield estates around Bogwood Road to Easthouses Road and the Newbattle Community Campus area, and out to the village of Cousland.
Mayfield was built largely in the 1950s and 1960s to house mining families, and most homes are ex-council semis, terraces and cottage flats, many now privately owned. Newer private estates have since been added on the southern and eastern edges. That history shapes the plumbing jobs we are called to.
Common Plumbing Jobs in Mayfield and Easthouses
Old systems converted to combis. Many houses have had their original back boiler or tank-and-cylinder system replaced with a combi boiler. Where old pipework and radiators have been kept, sludge and pressure problems are common. Our Gas Safe engineers diagnose boiler faults and can flush or rebalance a system that heats unevenly.
Seized stopcocks and old supply pipes. In a burst pipe emergency, the stopcock under the kitchen sink often will not turn. We talk you through alternatives on the phone, isolate the supply when we arrive and fit a new stopcock so you can shut the water off next time.
Shared drains in cottage flats and terraces. Upper and lower cottage flats usually share a soil stack and drain. When one blocks, both homes are affected. We jet the drain clear and can record a CCTV survey if the blockage keeps coming back.
Exposed, frost-prone pipework. Mayfield is higher and more exposed than central Dalkeith. Outside taps, pipes in unheated porches and condensate pipes freeze first in a cold spell. We repair them and can fit frost protection to stop it happening again.

Before the Plumber Arrives
If water is escaping, turn your stopcock clockwise to close it. It is usually under the kitchen sink, but sometimes it is in a hall or utility cupboard. Switch off the boiler if hot water is leaking, and keep water away from sockets and light fittings. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first, then call us.
